Hitch receiver mount for aero mod?

This weekend I saw one of those cargo support bars that hooks to your hitch receiver and was wondering if such an approach could be used to attach an aerodynamic rear end to a vehicle without modifying it permanently. Since my car's under warranty and I have a hitch that would be highly desirable (not to mention wanting to use my hatch back now and again). The trailer connector lets you hook up remote signal lights easily and a clear section and attention to support placement could allow the rear view to be relatively unobstructed. Have to relocate the license plate and I'd want to check other legal issues with the guy who does my inspections. Ideally, the frame would fold up, but that sounds like version 2 (...or 3). I am reasonably handy with a welder (far from an expert, however). To keep it light I'm thinking tubular frame with heat shrunk membrane over it. Any ideas?
